My goodness. I am tired today. Oh, wait, I was tired yesterday, too. And the day before. This semester has been outstandingly exhausting. I always, always, always have something that I have to do. Something that needs to be taken care of. One more item off a to-do list that has no end, no end whatsoever! I feel like I am battling my own life. I never thought that working part-time and going to school was a big deal, I have been doing it for 6 out of my 7 semesters here at SUU. There is just something particularly overwhelming about this semester. I think I know a few reasons.
First, printmaking. To all those people who said, "Just finish that art minor, you won't regret it." Oh. Do I ever. This class has been so extensively hard on me that sometimes I just feel like never going and failing it. We are constantly, constantly working on something. I work my butt off for two straight weeks trying to finish a monster of a lino-cut, just to immediately start searching for an image for my duotone. I finished that in two days, then he immediately starts encouraging us to find an idea for a hand cut film. I just found an image a week ago. I don't have any other ideas. As for Photoshop: I hate you. You never do what I want.
Second, work. Yes, I have had this job for almost a year and a half now, you'd think I'd be used to the insanity that goes down here. I'm not. This semester, I get to waste tons of gas driving to different schools to teach children about art. I drove 150 miles in the first two weeks of October just for the education program. Kill me, this thing still has like 3 weeks.
I feel about as exhausted as I usually feel one week before the semester ends. We just barely passed midterms. I can't believe the toll this semester has taken on me. Come on, December 15th, just get here already!!!
